General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

The whole point of HS2 GB is that it will increase capacity on the now 100 year old west coast line. This will allow more individual train movements both passenger and freight and take a massive amount of vehicles off the crowded motorway network. Furthermore with it being a brand new system the running and maintenance costs will be reduced.

How many truck movements will double-deck passenger carriages take off our road network?

Its not all about passenger numbers on individual trains or how quick it takes to get to London for those you describe as `yuppies`
